A must to see Valletta from the sea - A very nice boat with comfortable seats. The explanations in German and English were perfect. There was enough time to enjoy everything

Grand Harbor Tour / St. John's Co-Cathedral - We visited St. John's Co-Cathedral. Amazing. Walked across Malta and took the Sliema ferry to Sliema. In the afternoon we took the Grand Harbor Tour with Captain Morgan's boat. Another amazing tour. Took a cab back to the ship for 8 euro rather than the ferry and walking.

Great trip - I have no complains about the trip - I was sitting outside and the sound was fine. Nice speed, so there was time to take photos. The staff was friendly. The great experience startet when I bought my ticket from Chris (and his mother and brother). They were so nice and helpful and they really made my day.

Comfortable and interesting - If you are going to book a 2 harbour tour, this is the one too choose. Great boat, very comfortable seating. Marked up as Captain Morgan but now running under the I See Malta banner. Book in advance and you have 3 start times to choose from on the day.

Great tour but light on commentary - The boat booking and onboarding processes were very efficient and the boat well equipped and comfortable. The tour certainly went all around the harbour and various creeks and in terms of areas explored offered very good value. The only downside was the commentary which was fairly infrequent and not too informative.

You have beautiful photo opportunities - The harbor tour was appropriate, although the German explanations were difficult to understand. The announced harbor areas were visited.

Not the best - Captain was on his mobile whilst stirring the boat, couldn't hear a word of the commentators and a German passenger was very rude. Not the best
